Hamas is doing whatever they can to try and get the aid back under their control.
They claimed that Israel killed 31 Palestinians and injured many more at the aid station. Israel released video footage of the site, disproving Hamas’s claims.
Hamas is terrified of aid not being controlled by them - if the people actually realize that they’re better off without Hamas, it may actually lead to a peace and the elimination of Hamas.
Support for Israel in Europe has now completely collapsed.
Less than 20%. The amount of self-harm Israel has done to itself by its completely disporportionate response can now never be fixed. Too many innocent civilians have been killed. Specially children.
It should, but way too many people are willing to excuse it under the pretext that “speaking out for the Palestinians = being anti-Semitic” when in fact the same condemning statements apply irrespective of who was committing the atrocities.
Gaza: the modern day concentration camp, run by the descendants of the survivors of concentration camps. The only thing missing is the ovens to dispose of the bodies, but there’s still time to go.
It’s a long story. And an old one. From the Old Testament.
Commanded by Samuel, Saul went out to attack Amalek, as written in 1 Samuel 15:3: "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
If we’re going to start living by the Old Testament, I can’t wait to take part in the stonings of the sinners for all their biblical transgressions. Those are going to be fucking lit.

I’m being bombarded with Greta Thunberg crap. What an entitled little prick she is. She’s got two modes, angry, and victim.
This whole gaza stunt was theatrics for her followers. I think someone in Israel called it the selfie boat, and I think that’s apt. Rich brats on a sail boat.
She’s been screaming about being kidnapped and blocking aid. Except she got detained, processed and released almost immediately and the paltry amount of aid she brought along seems to have been distributed in Gaza. She wasn’t kidnapped, and her aid wasn’t blocked, she’s basically lying.
When the theatrics overtake the message. She’s actually damaging things by desensiting people from the very valid concern of aid distribution in Gaza.
I am pretty confident though that the purpose of the trip wasnt to get aid to gaza. It was to get arrested and get their picture in the papers. Shes more a kardashian than she is an activist trying to address anything going on in gaza.
I also don’t think she adds much value to the situation.
I was largely ok with her when she was young and was trying to get more attention for environmental issues. But she has kind of morphed into a sort of professional activist now and its all just a bit off-putting. The situation in Gaza deserves serious attention but this doesn’t really help as the current Israeli Govt will just use this situation for their own political ends.
